...Ireland (and, since I am of Irish extraction, I know whereof I speak) is not a country known for producing pretty people. Enter the Corrs. The four siblings (Andrea, Sharon, Caroline and, least excitingly, Jim) decided to form a band in 1991 based on their musical influences, which they claimed to be pop and traditional Celtic music. To be honest, their Celtic streak was never very strong, and their pop was mediocre to say the least, but the international community embraced them, catapulting them to giant stardom. Americans, while buying the album enough to make it successful, didn't quite...
Think of John Kennedy, who learned from his father the art of reckless behavior concealed by compartmentalization and sleight-of-hand. In the summer of 1947, JFK, visiting England and Ireland, had an onset of Addison's disease (an insufficiency of the adrenal glands) so serious that it nearly killed him.

Although you mentioned American shot putter Randy Barnes, who tested positive for steroids, why wasn't there more of a discussion of cheating by U.S. athletes, who hail from a veritable mecca of sports drugs? Any competent sports-medicine authority will affirm that the top echelon of world-class athletes includes those who use chemical assistance, and Americans are no exception.

...neither Britain's nor the rest of Europe's fuel troubles are over. Tanker trucks may be rolling again to London, but identical protests, which actually began in France a week before, spread into Germany and Spain, the Low Countries, Greece and Ireland. Europeans were bent on telling their governments they had had enough of paying the world's highest prices at the pump. Now their stunned leaders must find an acceptable reply...
